Hurtigruten Maud Cruise Reviews

Chosen for the Northern Lights, the cruise became more about the scenery and overall experience on MS Maud. The boat was less than half full due to covid restrictions which no doubt helped as we didn't have to worry about queuing for excursions and received amazing service and support from all the crew. The excursions were well described and organised and mostly we were able to join everything we ...

My husband and I have long wanted to take the Hurtigruten trip up the coast of Norway and when we saw, in September 2019, that there would be an expedition voyage from Dover in 2021, we decided this would be perfect. Of course, Covid intervened, and we thought it wouldn't happen, but it did! It met all our expectations. We had a superior cabin, comfortable with a porthole with an uninterrupted ...

A long awaited return visit to the Fjords previously visited in 1959. This trip was well worth the waite! All services were great quality & full of interest even when at sea. Every possible precaution was taken to minimise disease spreading & passenger safety was of prime importance. The Itinerary provided much of interest either as visits or lectures if at sea. A very well run ship, with a ...

Having already done the coastal voyage I wanted to do something a bit different and this trip from Dover fitted the bill. I loved the ship, cabin was ideal, the exhibition crew put on interesting events every day and streamed the events to the cabin. Excellent Covid protocols and then 3 nights of stunning aurora. Great food so highly recommended. Really good process for boarding in Dover and it ...

I don’t think I’ll ever do the Hurtigruten again. First it was very expensive, over 5000 kr per person for a 36 hour trip from Bergen to Trondheim going through Geiranger. We ordered the Arctic Superior room which was twice as expensive as a standard room, but it just had a round port window. It was no better than standard rooms on a normal cruise ship. The Hurtigruten shouldn’t be thought of ...

The whole experience from beginning to end was superb. We had been with Hurtigruten up the coast of Norway and so enjoyed it we wanted to do a longer cruise. Antarctica was our choice. We booked a suite and this did not disappoint. The advantages of the suite were many - breakfast in the a la carte restaurant, an invitation to eat in the a la carte restaurant in the evening, free mini bar ...

Antarctica was on our bucket list for a long time. This was a beautiful and truly unspoiled nature. We loved Antarctica. The expedition was great but don’t book or plan to book the optional excursions unless you plan to be disappointed. When we made our initial booking we were told we could book the optional excursions until the sailing date. Called 2 weeks later to book and were told had ...

We just got back from the 2019 “Christmas in the Antarctic with Penguins” on Hurtigruten’s Midnatsol. This is a review meant mostly to give upcoming travelers some tips you may not get elsewhere, but I’ll start by saying it was absolutely fantastic. Great staff all around, very friendly and knowledgeable. Top ratings for food too, which I’d classify as a European menu with lots of variety. Very ...

We chose this cruise for the destination and itinerary and we were not disappointed. Every member of staff worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best experience possible. Whether we were first or last we noticed no difference in attitude or attentiveness of the zodiac drivers or the expedition team members, we were made to feel like we were the first passenger of the day each time. We were ...

We chose this trip to Antartica as it gave us the experience of landing on the continent itself. We have been to Antartica three times before in cruise ships which were good but this time we wanted something extra. Hurtigruten provided just what we wanted at a reasonable price and the overall package was excellent value. In total we had seven days on the peninsula and had two off boat ...
